On the side of the engine with the serpentine belt, locate the water pump (the one with the radiator hose and the pulley). Loosen but don't remove the bolts holding the pulley on. Remove the belt and pulley. Remove the bolts holding the pump on. You'll have to pry the pump off because of the gasket.

Make the engine cool for few hours. Disconnect the battery and drain the fluid from the radiator by removing radiator plugs. Using screwdriver loosen the hose ring clamps and disconnect the radiator hoses. Remove the electrical fan assembly,fan shroud and belt that connects fan pulley. Using socket wrench remove the water pump from the front of engine block.

You can go get a manual at the auto parts store, it should tell you what is needed. Just tell them the make and model of the car.
